WITH LOVE FROM THE BACK OF THE YARDS OF CHICAGO

The Back of the Yards of Chicago was Sonny's playground.Cattle pens sheep pens pig pens and piles of animal dung produced a smell that drove you out of the neighborhood during the hot humid days in Chicago.His life goes through a tyrannical mother alcoholic in-laws a bipolar manic depressant wife with schizophrenic tendencies and a son born with the lack of antibodies in his system to fight off the most common diseases.There will be brief periods of sadness disbelief arousal and doubt. At the point of doubt you will be involved in one of the biggest questions asked: Why did you stay?
